| Allison Speakers - Modern Kentucky Company There are a pr. of Allison Acoustic four speakers on Ebay. No idea how they sound. | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? Airegin, which harbeths are you using? My findings with the 40.1s and R&B, Soul, and blues are that they really shine with this type of music. | |
| ProAc or Harbeths? Amp/speaker synergy is critical. I preferred the manley/SHL5 combo over the same amps with the 40.1s. The sound was very good, but never felt like the 40.1s got out of the way of the music like I thought they should. Now with increased power, usin... | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? I listen to some of everything you have on your list and they sound great. This is s good time to buy used, take advantage of it, They dont always come up in bunches like they are now. | |
| Amp for Harbeth 7ES3 I've used the Manley Snappers with both the SHL5s, and M40.1s. great match. | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's Congrats. Hope the amp works out for you. | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's These would all come close to your 2500.00 budget if bought used. BAT 300X, Luxman 505u. If you can stretch a little more. Mcintosh MA6900, or 7000. Luxman 509u.If i was looking for an integrated to use with my 40.1s, it would most likely be one o... | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? Headphone.com(headroom products) Meier-audio headphone amps also use cross talk. | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice? I've heard the XV-1t, XV-1s, TKR, and 17D3 several times on the new Well Tempered table and the match is great. Not sure how that works out with your table, but if I had the newer table i would use it with the Dynavector. | |
| Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners That pr. in Eucalyptus look great. If your going to get a pr. I'd jump on those quick. | |
| Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners The 40.1 is more detailed, deeper bass, not as full or sweet sounding. Probably the more correct sounding speaker. I think the SHL5 stages better. The 40.1s seem to stage everything up high and not as wide as the SHL5s in my system. Using the same... | |
| Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners I dont really think the 40.1 is a "better" speaker than the SHL5 when combined with a good (I used REL) subwoofer. Just different. Depending on your tastes, I put them equal when a subwoofer is integrated well into the SHL5 system.I think anyone w... | |
| Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners I use them in a room pretty much the same size on the short wall also. (14.5' X 19.5') I also moved up from the SHL5s. They will work in your room. However it has taken me awhile to get them dialed in. At first I was not happy with the move from t... | |
| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage I agree with the two above. I slightly prefer the sound of the SHL5s and they dont need to be in the corners to get there best bass. | |
| Subwoofer placement I tried most of whats been offered and if you have a room that you can place the sub "anywhere".... I would try putting it in the listening position firing into the room and then place it where the bass is best sounding in the room. |
